Leonard Bernstein...Prelude, Fugue & Riffs?
Yup, that's the one.

Bernstein wrote some very good works and some very bad works......and then, who hasn't?

Your turn

Here is one I have had ready for some time. Fairly well-known composer (the name is well-known, but few of his works are well-known).

Nathaniel Shilkret? Famous mainly for his collaboration with Stravinsky and others in setting part of the book of Genesis to music.

Well, that's what came into my head....I haven't a clue why ???

You're all on the right track, nobody has guessed it yet

This is the prelude to a rarely performed opera

A bit less known than Dukas. He is associated with many other famous French composers, and taught several of them

Yes.
Prelude to the opera "L'Etranger"

The clue was to precise I'm afraid. But I thought about similarity of some fragment of Symphonie cevenole to this clip while listening to it yesterday. Of course it was not the only work I found similar.

And now clip with one of my past guilty pleasures:

No.
Of course  words "hugely grandiose" are absolutely appropriate.
